Changes vs Melbourne

Umps don't handball into trouble!!
Don't normally comment on umpires as I think generally it all evens out in the end but the umpires had an absolute shocker. They're completely confused with the hands in the back rule. I'll wait for the stats but I'd be surprised if Adelaide didnt get 7 goals from frees or 50 metre penalties and a good portion of those were incorrect decisions. Two very bad decisions against Moore stuck out a mile.

Not blaming the umpires, we had an insipid second half, but they didnt help us today.
 
No changes, i'm told everythings looking up,the kids are gr8,Terry has just brought in a couple of young bucks called bowden & tivendale & this new kid Polak is so good even Freo didnt want him.
Stick fat,Mr Wallace & remember the ultimate goal, A flag in 4096 !
 
get raines back in for mcharn
morton for edwards
polo for tuck,
and bloody someone like collins, rance putt or cassery


rawling is the coach off coburg, surely he can see which players are good and get them into the ones
 
Why change? Aside from Thirsty who is injured. Come on guys we're tanking. We need that PP so bad we're going to go out there and embarass ourselves every single week from now until the end of the season. Terry will get the ultimate prize; the PP and be rewarded, because the PP is now far more important than the Premiership, and next season just like Carlton we'll burn up the ladder. We don't need to change anything. Let's just keep playing that side. At least until Johnno is fit, then we can drop that Cotchin bloke, he seems to want to actually play well and win games, what's up with him? Maybe we can also give Deledio a holiday at Coburg, he makes it bloody hard to lose games, too.

:duh TW"now why didn't I think of that?"
 
OUT: Pettifer Edwards Thursfield (injured) Tivendale McGuane
IN: Morton Rance Riewoldt Collins Raines
 
Outs:

Tivendale: Probably played his last game yesterday
Pettifer: Selfish footballer
McMahon: Trade could cost Wallace his coaching career. Soft and unaccountable.
McGuane: When a hack like Jericho kicks 4 goals on you in quarter have to question if he is up to it.
Pattison: If only we had another ruckman.
Edwards: Does not do enough to warrant a game each week.

Ins: Morton, Riewoldt, JON, Connors, Casserley and promote Cartledge
 
Not all will happen but some of the following should

possible Outs: Tivendale (for good), Polak, Mcmahon, Edwards(needs a run at coburg), Pettifer, Thursfield (inj) Pattison(just not good enough)

possible Ins: Collins (it has to happen NOW) Riewoldt, Conners (even half fit would have to be better than Mcmuffin) Polo, Hughes(give him another shot), Rance, Graham, Morton
 
For those calling on Tivers, Petters, Bowdeners to be omitted, I agree, but lets say thank you and goodluck with your future endeavours and for once have the Richmond Football club farewell these men properly - not like what happened with Knights.

Bit of a difference between Knights and Pettifer/Tivendale. Bowden is the only one out of that lot that I would make soe kind of fuss over a farewell game.

agree,but add bowden to that list also.
why in the world would you select a washed up backmen(they have decided he`s finished as a backmen by dropping him and recalling him as a forward) up forward.
either play him down back or tell him his time is up.
 
IN - Graham Collins Connors Morton Riewoldt Hughes Oakley-Nichols Rance Polo

OUT - Pattison Tivendale Pettifer Bowden Tuck Polak McMahon McGuane Thursfield(inj)

King Schulz Rance
Newman Moore Polo
White Cotchin Deledio
Connors Richardson Tambling
Morton Hughes Riewoldt
Graham Brown Foley
Simmonds Collins JON Edwards

It's time to cut the losses Bowden Pettifer Tivendale Tuck will not take us forward McGuane & Pattison are not up to it Polak needs to find a spot & McMahon can play but just turns the footy over to much tries to do to much just needs to take the 1st easy option rather than trying to pin point the pass every time. Simmonds to become our second string ruckman who is good around the ground & can go forward but we need a guy who can win the hit outs & hit it to Foley Cotchin etc Graham has the size for senior footy & moves ok from what i've seen.
Maybe some more pain but if the young guys can come through together then we will progress.
 
For the tenth time Schulz was playing on Jericho! It looked like McGuane was playing on him because he had to cover for bloody Schulz all the time. Anyway...........


Well from todays Coburg game........its obvious they're hungry to play senior footy, so the following changes should happen..........

IN: Rance Collins Polo Riewoldt Hughes Oakley-Nicholls Morton

OUT: Thursfield Tivendale Polak Schulz Pettifer Bowden McMahon


FB: McGuane Rance King

HB: Newman Moore Oakley-Nicholls

C: Polo Foley Richardson

HF: Morton Hughes Tambling

FF: Brown Riewoldt Edwards

R: Simmonds Cotchin Deledio

INT: Collins White Pattison Tuck

A bit hard on Bowden and Schulz No 7. I'd say both did better than Newman. I'd retain all three.
Didn't see the Burgers but based on reports here and what Terry said about Richo's injury, I'd rest him now rather than hope he can get through to the bye.
In Collins Connors Oakley- Nicholls Polo Rance
Out Richo Thursfield inj, Mcmahon Pettifer Tivendale.

How can especially a backman or a midfielder have ZERO tackles?
By being too bloody far off their man.
Absolute bs unaccountability

6 players had 31 tackles between them, that leaves 16 tackles for the other 16, geez, go figure.
